The one about the condom

2011-01-09T20:22:00.000-05:00

Eep! Even though I'm not working, I hate Mondays. I think it stems from being a kid and knowing that, on Sunday night, that you're weekend is officially over and you have to go and do something productive. Blegh. I've been on a huge manga kick and I promise that I will not bore you with that, however, I will tell you one of the things that kept me awake last night. Does anyone remember the

Brand new year and you got a what....?

2011-01-07T16:12:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year folks! I don't believe in resolutions because I have no discipline and will never follow them. HOWEVER. This year I have been challenged to be a little more up beat and less ...whiny (?) in this blog. I am taking up the gauntlet. That means that I will need your help if I'm going to do an about face. I need someone to comment at least once a month so that I can tell if I'm being

So You Forgot Cranberries too?

Ok let me just say for the record that I'm a great blogger after a few pints. Sorry about that. On the third point *the second point has conveniently left me*, I tend to write really awesome and insightful blog posts right as I lay my head down to the pillow; my husband "spooning" me and my last breath of wakefulness slipping into that sweet biorhythm of REM patterns (or something pre). Alas,

I do like Amy Grant...so what?

2010-10-26T00:23:00.000-04:00

I haven't published in over a month. Disgraceful. Shameful and just flat out disgusting. Yet, no one is complaining. Still out of work and I'm not that upset about it, worried about money so I'm gonna saddle up and go back into the workforce. It's not that I don't want to work, I just don't want to work in an office. I honestly would enjoy working at a bar, a small bookstore, a small start up

First Booze Cake Pic - Margarita Cheesecake

2010-09-09T23:42:00.000-04:00

So I'm in love with the book "Booze Cakes" by Kristina Castella and Terry Long It should be wrong to love a cookbook this much but I LOVE to bake. I don't know why. Maybe because it's soothing and 9 times out of 10, even if you screw up you can still have something sweet to eat at the end. I like that baking can be adaptable yet there must be certain absolutes. I suppose that if I had to sum

Random Thoughts on the subject of... thoughts?

2010-09-01T01:13:00.000-04:00

It's turning into another sleepless night because try as I might I can't get my mind to power down. I've bounced between wanting to make fried pickles, wondering when to start the new book I bought, when will I finish my chapter, what should happen next in my chapter (including running dialogue in my head), should I go watch a movie to calm down, what kind of movie, what's happening at my old

Cupcake Prophecy

2010-08-26T17:33:00.000-04:00

Will be making champagne cupcakes courtesy of a recipe that I found here: 52 Cupcakes. Of course I will be mixing it up my own way but we shall see what happens. Meanwhile, I get to drink Champagne!

I'm still here but not really. I'm suffering from Ennui today. Definition of ENNUI : a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction : boredom Examples of ENNUIennui that comes from having too much time on one's hands and too little will to find something productive to do> Origin of ENNUIFrench, from Old French enui annoyance, from enuier to vex, from Late Latin inodiare to make loathsome — more at

It's just the right amount of awkward

Ever since I quit my job a month ago I have been thinking of this blog. I have been writing posts in my head and have sadly not been posting them. SO. This is just a small reminder that I am in fact alive. I am writing and have just completed Chapter 8. Despite what Chuck says, I'm quite proud of my "zombie" story. When I finished Chapter 8 on Sunday-Monday (I hadn't slept) I felt so energized

So tomorrow is going to be a big day because I have a very scary decision to make that I'm ready to make. So all I ask is for the 11 followers to actually give a shout out to their high being for me. I've been panicking all day. I woke up on the edge of a panic attack. The messed up thing was I thought I was doing better with those. The meds should've regulated that and the months in therapy

I forgot what I hate about moving. It's not just the actual packing or the lungfuls of long forgotten skin particles that fly out from behind the couch, it is the actual physical process of looking for a new place. I'm picky. Let's face it (well maybe you don't have to face it, just recognize it) and I have specifics for where I want to live. I was poor until I was 8, so I my issues are more of

It's probably not a good sign when the first thing you do when you get home is kick your shoes off, drop your purse and mail down and then go to the bottles of wine that are on your kitchen counter, unscrew one and pour yourself a tall glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, prop open your latest paranormal romance and pray that you'll win the lottery or that someone will realize your potential because God

Between betty white, bomb scares and book peddling I've been a little busy and therefore haven't really updated. However, I'm alive and will be updating shortly with something other than this which is nothing but a glamorized twitter feed. I shall leave you with this:

"Peter I have a mammogram in the morning"

2010-05-02T23:28:00.000-04:00

Oh Family Guy! Ok, so I don't have a mammogram in the morning.....I do have a doctor's appt tomorrow after work, which sucks because I'm broke and co-pays are slightly evil....but anyhoo....this weekend was amazing. So amazing that Monday is becoming more and more like that disease that you hope that you never get but you are at high risk for it. That disease is called work. How I wish I had

Making One Year - the Cusacks

2010-04-30T17:39:00.000-04:00

Tomorrow I have been successfully married for one year. Successfully I say because I am not divorced, dissatisfied or pregnant. Not that pregnancy is a sign of an unsuccessful marriage, it was just one of the items I had on my list entitled "Top Ten Things Not To Do While Married For the First Year". Yeah, it's a mouthful. But I'm happy, he's happy and I am going to give him the best anniversary

On why Facebook is weird

2010-04-21T23:32:00.000-04:00

Facebook is a scary scary scary place at times. I would just like to take a moment to point that out. Why? Well, remember those kids in high school that you were friends with for a whole of 12 months and then, because high school is the land of hormones, misunderstandings, betrayals and petty jealousies, these 'friends' stopped talking to you and made your life a living hell (even if you were

'allo Gentle Readers - I have turned a 27 as of yesterday at 5:24pm. I am an Aries with a Libra rising and an Aquarius Moon. I like to relax with a beer and a book and I love new music, sweets, baking and Mexican food. I've been trying to finish a novel since High School, in which it is quite possible that I have reached my peak, and I like to snuggle against my husband like I'm a cat (to which

Just in time for Easter, this is the chocolate edition of best candy imo. As a child we didn't have a lot of money so candy wasn't exactly something that was available all of the time. Chocolate was even rarer (not to make it sound like I lived during the Great Depression and we were rationed) but we had cookies and my mother would try to bake -- needless to say, when I got candy it was like

Healthcare and Switzerland

2010-03-24T14:48:00.001-04:00

So today on facebook, there are a lot of people (mostly Republicans) that have been complaining about the healthcare bill. In all honesty, I think most of them have been brainwashed by the both wings of the media. Most people did want it to pass, it's only that those that have the loudest voices also have more money and can afford to take silly tests and take heavily biased and weighted O'Reilly

I have been feeling a little under the weather and therefore have needed to take some time off from the Candy list and so forth. Never fear. I'll return shortly.

2010-02-26T15:02:00.000-05:00

I love Candy. I loved candy as a kid, an adolescent, a teenager and now. Of course my tastes have varied as I grew up and my tolerance for all things sugary-sweet has dwindled - and the development of TMJ. I still eat candy, just different candy. Which leads me to the point of this particular entry. Candy from the good ole' days (pt 1). There are a lot of different candies for each age group

Just a little update

2010-02-23T22:22:00.000-05:00

I'm sure most of you have"n't" noticed that the title has changed. I've decided to take a more cheery approach to that which is life, so instead of questioning the world why my ass is the perfect height for Jesus/God/Gods/Beings to kick it (gotta cover all bases here) I've decided to just mention that my brain receives and dispenses information randomly, like a broken satellite. I think I stole

So it's my day off today and I've managed to get out of bed (which is no easy feat as I'm tired ALL OF THE TIME), get coffee at the local starbucks and clean. Yes, clean. My house no longer looks like a group of cokehead squatters moved in. Ok, it never looked that bad but there are a few things that are messy that I'm not proud of and therefore will only vaguely mention (like now) and not get

Ugh. Just one big fat hairy ball sucking ugh. Ever had one of those moments of WTF am I doing with my life? Not personally. I'm quite happy personally ... and isn't it always strange how there is a delineating mark between professional and personal once you reach a certain age? I need a vacation, a new perspective and a whole day of sleeping. Maybe then my headache will lessen and I will

I think it's getting possible that I hate blogger. I'm debating wordpress for two reasons: one it looks easier to manage with a functionality that will allow for creativity and two: most of my favorite writers have one if I want to steal a page from their book regarding success, it seems like a good idea. Of course, how many would follow me that long trek into the good night - of the internet.

The Scissor Sisters make me want to dress up in a silver lame suit, sprinkle glitter all over myself (a la David Bowie - late 70's) and go out dancing with a bunch of random people. Of course, I did just see a car commercial and a rum commercial, so it could be less the Scissor Sisters and more of the subliminal messages.

Open Letter to U2

Dear Bono & U2 - Hi guys, just wanted to drop a line and see how you're doing. How's the fund-raising for Africa and AIDS and all that? Hope it's going well. I debated spending a lot of money on a poor quality GAP Red shirt and then quickly thought against it. How about we buy a shirt that is good quality and the proceeds and the shirt go to those in need? I'm sure Americans don't really need

This is more of a post to let you know that I am alive. I have finished Chapter 5 of my Zombies, Diseases and Lurve manuscript and desperately scrambling to try and finish chapter 6. Why? I am trying to finish this before my birthday (April) so I can at least start on my goal of being a published writer before 30 (it's sooner rather than later). And while I write, read and worry about how to
